"利兰的美国"

When smart, quiet suburban student Leland Fitzgerald commits a shocking
crime, he becomes the center of a maelstrom of people trying to
understand what he did and why, from his famous but absent father, to
his troubled ex-girlfriend to the victim&acircs devastated family. The only
person Leland trusts is Pearl, a jaded juvenile hall teacher and
aspiring writer who helps Leland to examine the truth of his crime. Yet,
Pearl too, has his own exploitative agenda, using Leland to garner
material for a book and further his own career--until he begins to see
that Leland is giving him something he never expected not the concrete
answer he seeks, or the literary fame he hopes for, but the realization
that now is the time to change his own life for the better.
